It depends on whether it was left in a will or a trust. There is generally a rule that "blood" cannot be cut out of an estate. You need an attorney who understands wills or trusts. Your chances are apparently better with a will than a trust. The attorney for the estate hast to provide you with the documents on demand. You have 120 days from the receipt of those documents in most states to contest the will.
We are researching an article on children of older men married to younger women being cut out of the father's estate. We are seeking stories of such children. If you are interested in sharing, please email reversibletrust [at] gmail dot com with information on how you can be contacted.
We are also seeking estate experts who would be willing to speak and be quoted.
Thank you

Does a child or her father inherit her mother's property?
The dead have no legal rights. However, the estate of a deceased person acquires many of the same rights as the person had while alive. The executor or administrator of the estate carries out the final collections and payments on behalf of the estate, and should attempt to enforce all rights of the deceased (including pension and other contracts payable to the deceased, privacy, personal choice in disposal of remains, disposal of the estate assets, payment of taxes, etc).
Who inherits in an intestate estate in South Africa?
It depends. If the deceased had a spouse (or if he was in a polygamous marriage) but if he had no descendants, the spouse (or spouses) will inherit the estate. If there are only descendants but no spouses, then it will be they who inherit the estate. In case there are both spouse(s) and descendants, the spouse will receive R125 000 and the balance will go to the children. Also, if there are neither descendants nor spouses, the parents (or one parent and the other descendants of that parent) will split the estate equally.
